Soul — In Stock — 12-inch  

Brilliant stuff – and one of the greatest P&P singles ever! Marta Acuna's "Dance Dance Dance" is one of those tracks that we never tire of – a sublime blend of Latin rhythms, warm disco vocals, and that great spacey P&P approach to production! Sweet female vocals... read more

Six different mixes of this meeting of two greats. Admittedly not as entirely dope as it could have been, but still as nice as a Soul Sonic Force records with backing by Doug Wimbish and Keith LeBlanc. Also, there's a few interludes with James Brown saying a few words about the record. Nice cover... read more

A great 80s groove track, with a sound reminiscent of Arrington's best work with Slave, with a pumping midtempo groove.... read more

Snapping beats and a really great 80s groove make "Checking You Out" one of Aurra's best tracks! The tune starts out slow, in a way that's perfect for bringing up out of a mix – then the vocals come in with some nice electro undercurrents – really making for a catchy appeal... read more

A great little tune from Erykah Badu – smooth, mellow, with a nice downtempo vibe, but still a warm finish that works perfectly with her voice! This is the kind of tune that made us all fall in love with her right away – and which still sounds great years later!... read more

After "The Bottle", Joe's big remake of the Gil Scott Heron song in 1975, "Rap-O Clap-O" was probably his second biggest club cut. The track's got a very catchy groove – with sort of a stomping beat that Joe used to cook up his own dance. Arranged by the great Marty... read more

A groovy little version of The Beach Boys' "Here Comes The Night" – updated to a clubbier style from the original version – with soaring strings, dancefloor rhythms, and a bit of keyboards too!... read more

An obscure single taking off from a groove borrowed loosely off Zapp's "More Bounce To The Ounce" and adding a sort of quasi-rap vocal over top, that sounds more like George Clinton type vocalese than any sort of hip hop.... read more

Another nice track from Began Cekic, with a helping hand from Tee Scott. The groove's popping early 80s sound has a crisp midtempo almost roller skating vibe.... read more

A great 80s disco cut with a infectious thumping beat and sweet chirping guitars with a more sequencer based disco number on the flip from Began Cekic, Tee Scott and Fredd Zarr.... read more

Bass heavy funk from the Brothers Johnson and Quincy Jones. This track was the heavier b-side to their "Strawberry Letter 23" single, but is issued here as a double a-side promo, and while not as completely sublime as that track, it's a mighty commercial funk groove in its own right!... read more

One of the few James Brown 12" singles ever, and a rare promo issue that features 2 cuts from James' Jam/1980s LP. Both cuts have an uptempo funk sound, and "The Spank" is a pretty decent attempt by James to capture the modern dancefloor.... read more

Loopzilla is from the same species as Atomic Dog – both of them funky enough animals, with post Parliament/Funkadelic P-Funk groove!... read more

"Nubian Nut" is more of the Atomic Dog formula – kind of a popping bass groove that was the inherited legacy of P-funk that every other band was ripping off at the time, and rap-like vocals that George would probably never claim were rap! "Free Alterations" is the real... read more

Man, we really love this song to death – and it's a Spaced Out disco classic that never gets old! Cloud One are at their moogy P&P best with the number – letting things rumble out with a wicked mix of vibes and electronics – all bubbling to the top of the mix with support... read more

A great 80s groove single, with a slightly more mainstream soul approach than we'd expect from Began Cekic, but without sacrficing any club appeal!... read more

Another cut from the "Smurf" dance era. This one is really more of a roller-skating style record with sung female vocals than a real hip hop record.... read more
